He "smoked" it over the plate.

None other than rapper Snoop Dogg was the special guest at U.S. Cellular Field Thursday night, throwing out the first pitch as the White Sox take on the Minnesota Twins.

He didn't stick around for much of the game, however, because he was due on stage later in the evening at Horseshoe Casino.

The casino offered up a special Drop it Like It’s Hot package just for the occasion of Snoop's performance, which included an upscale food lineup with some of Snoop’s favorites, a private Gin and Juice Bar in addition to a full bar from 7-10pm and even a Snoop-approved collectible Playa Pass at check-in.
